This book deals with good, evil, happiness and morally enhanced
post-humans. It offers a succinct historical elaboration of
philosophical stances towards morality and happiness, focusing on
Kant's ideas in particular. Human augmented ethical maturity in a
futuristic version of Kant's Ethical Commonwealth implies, among
else, voluntary moral bio-enhancement (VMBE); consequently, more
happiness - as morality and happiness are in a circularly
supportive relationship; ultimate morality (UM). UM is in its own
way a universal morality. In line with the contention that Kant's
vision of the (not immediate but more distant) future of humanity
is one of a cosmopolitan moral order in which humans act virtuously
in the broadest possible community, that is, humanity, it is
justified to conclude that successful VMBE is conducive to Kant's
vision. In this context the book is of great interest to a broad
audience, such as those interested in VMBE and novel conceptions of
morality, and those with an interest in the historical development
of morality and happiness, in philosophy (specifically, ethics) and
in post-humanity.
